Icon Rules

[andrewberes]

I am having an issue with icons showing up off center and fuzzy even when following the video posted on youTube for downloading them from icons8.

I have the size set to 32px by 32px with a resolution of 72DPI - are there any additional rules for making them appear as they should?

They should appear like this:

Thanks!

@andrewberes This issue is general with Revit. The icon DPI needs to be 96 for the icons to show up correctly. Previously icons8 didn't include DPI in their PNG files but recently they PNG generate system has changed and it adds odd DPIs to the PNGs.

I fixed this issue under the develop branch and I just pushed that as a hotfix to the master. Update your pyRevit and the icons should load correctly. pyRevit now scales the icons based on the required size for the button and the image DPI

This change has two benefits:

• You can download icons from any source and use them with pyRevit with no DPI change.
• Icons larger than 32x32 can be used for better icon sharpness on hi-res displays. I'm using 128x128 icons on some of the custom company tools and they look much sharper on my hi-res screen

Awesome! Thanks for the quick response - pyRevit has become by far my most useful add-in. It makes it easy for a beginner to quickly develop custom tools with basic python knowledge! Thanks for all your work!

Exactly. That was my main motive behind it. All the pyRevit tools are basically a showcase of the python programming for Revit. pyRevit to me is really a rapid-prototyping and development environment.

Thanks for your support.
